Terry Cooper RIP

clive

Former Leeds defender Terry Cooper has died at the age of 77.

Cooper made 351 appearances for Leeds between 1962 and 1975 during one of the most successful periods in the club's history.

The full-back scored the only goal in the 1968 League Cup final against Arsenal at Wembley and was part of the side that won the First Division title the following season.

He also won 20 caps for England and played at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.

Cooper left Leeds for Middlesbrough in 1975 and also had spells at Bristol City, Bristol Rovers and Doncaster Rovers, before retiring from playing after a second spell at Bristol City in 1984.

He would later manage both Bristol clubs as well as having two stints in charge of Exeter either side of a two-year spell at Birmingham.

RIP, Leeds have lost so many legends in the last year or so

Cracking left back.

Played in one of the greatest club sides this country has ever seen. That early Leeds 70s team had it all.

RIP.

A cracking player and as Bilko said an early example of an attacking full back

Brilliant full back, one of the less physical Leeds players.
When they went up 63/64 he played on the wing against us. I think that was his position when he started his career. RIP.

Fantastic full back in a truly great Leeds side.

RIP Terry

I remember him as Exeter manager during this record breaking season! That was some team he built there.

Lovely comment in The Times this morning - when lining up against Brazil in the 1970's World Cup, Pele came up to Terry Cooper before kick-off and said "good luck Cooper." Cooper said he thought to himself "God! Pele knows my name!"
